I have 18 babies. One is pipped and the rest and the remaining eggs aren't doing anything. Wish me luck on my remaining eggs.

Hi I know it wasn't the ideal situation, however, I thought the eggs should arrive at the same time. I set some eggs on Friday and then some the following Wednesday. Here is the problem, the first setting is due to hatch this Friday so today is the last day for turning, however; the others...

Do you have any eggs available to arrive on April 4th. My zip code is 20607.
